raise sufficient number of subscribers
to justify Daily Paper in our City.

highly recommended by the Press and

everything to be hrst-class. Price,35
cents.
DURING the past week we have de-
voted great deal of our time to the in
terests Of a Daily Paper, and have been
unable to give the Gazette our necessary
attention. However. we have been
kindly assisted by lady friend, who
has had considerable experience, and
knows how to sympathize with an editor
when his hands are full of lead pencils,
scissors, paste buckets, exchanges, and
his hair standing on ends. We certainly
appreciate such help, hoping it may be
continued weekly, and in short while
daily.
